Review: Bobby D.—5 star May 30, 2015

“Being new to off-road, I came upon NORA from some Google searches. I couldn’t be happier with my findings and choice to attend one of their beginner classes (5/30/15). The folks at NORA are professional, well educated, and love what they are doing. That is evident from the minute you drive onto their grounds and start meeting people. Their staff are quick to give you pointers and technical suggestions. All while still allowing you, the driver, the ability to learn how your vehicle handles on the terrain. At no point during the day’s adventure did I feel uncomfortable or unsafe, and even had a few laughs (some at my expense). I feel after attending a class at NORA, that I am a better, more technical driver both on and off-road. I’ll definitely be attending another, more advanced class in the future and for some reason I have this urge to drive off-road. Thanks for an awesome experience.”
